Learn more about studying Anthropology as an international student.
What Trent University says about their program:
Are you a “people watcher,” curious about human societies and how they’ve evolved over time? This is the program for you. Anthropology is the study of the human experience, from our earliest ancestors to our contemporary digital society. Drawing on insights from archaeology, and cultural, linguistic, and biological anthropology, you’ll explore the extraordinary variability in human adaptation, organization and belief, discovering how the common circumstances we face unite us.
